Step-index Si-Ge-core silica-cladded optical fibers
Document Type Conference Proceeding
Abstract
Si-Ge alloy-core silica-cladded fibers were drawn at a low temperature to minimize impurity diffusion. The elemental segregation in the as-drawn fibers was overcome by a thermal treatment. The transmission losses of the fibers were calculated as 28 dB/cm at 6.1 mu mathrm{m} wavelength.
